In an official statement released on Monday (October 5, 2026), Jamaat-e-Islami Assistant Secretary General and Central Publicity Secretary Advocate Ehsanul Mahbub Zubayer expressed deep concern over the incident that occurred late Sunday night (October 4, 2026) on the campus. The assault resulted in injuries to four journalists representing major media outlets: Jahidul Islam (Agamir Somoy), Nur Ahsan Mridul (The Daily Star), Arif Uzzaman Korban (bdnews24.com), and Mainul Islam Raju (Samakal). Zubayer characterized the attack as an intolerable assault on freedom of the press, noting with grave concern that the incident unfolded despite the presence of law enforcement personnel and the university proctorial body. He urged the university administration and police to utilize available video footage to swiftly identify, apprehend, and prosecute the perpetrators, warning that failure to act could compromise student safety and destabilize the academic environment on campus.
